Sue Looney, Ed.D. Founder of Looney Math Consulting
“The opportunity to meet people of all ages from around the world, to understand their needs, and then to discover together a path forward is truly a gift. Whether I am working with very young learners or experienced adults, I love helping people better understand math concepts they struggle with, opening up their eyes to the creativity and joy that is mathematics!”
Maureen Dorsey
“Supporting the belief that all students are mathematicians is my passion. A veteran public school teacher and elementary math coach for over twenty years, I have seen first-hand the innate ability of diverse children for mathematics, I have watched them reach the heights of mathematical knowledge through the efforts of great educators who are trained in mathematics education. Being a part of that effort has been an honor and a privilege which I came to Looney Math to continue participating in after retiring.”
Polly Wagner
“My passion is working with administrators and teachers to think about how to improve mathematics teaching and learning in their schools. I believe in the capacity of all students to learn mathematics at the highest level and I know teachers can develop practices that inspire and engage students. I focus a lot of attention on using equitable teaching practices, investigating students’ algebraic reasoning, taking and watching videos of students at work and developing collaborative models for collegial visits.”
Anne Marie Condike
”My passion is working with educators to improve and enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics. A core part of my work is to break through any existing barriers pertaining to the learning of mathematics so every student and teacher feels confident in mathematics.”
Jan Szymaszek
“My passion is helping to connect all learners with the joy and promise of learning mathematics. This includes students, teachers and administrators as they engage in mathematical experiences and reflect on their practice. I believe in supporting administrators and teachers as they create the conditions for learning, and develop the goals that will make their aspirations come to be. All of this is in the service of supporting all students as they come to see themselves as members of a community engaged in thinking and doing mathematics together.”
Amy Walker
“I firmly believe that all students can learn and enjoy mathematics. The idea that such a thing as a math person exists or that we need to water down ideas because we believe that a given group just can’t learn a concept diminishes both adult and student potential. Given the opportunity to develop a growth mindset and guidance to explore mathematics as a creative endeavor that is meant to make sense, everyone is capable of learning math. I am honored to support your work.”
